Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Unknown Target on May 19, 2003, 02:04:11 pm: I really think that HLP should open a Homeworld General Discussion and a Homeworld Modding forum. After all, many people tranverse both communities, and with the release of Homeworld 2 coming up, it would be nice to have discussions about it here.

EDIT: Oops, admikns can you make this a poll please?
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 19, 2003, 02:06:55 pm: I think it should have one, but AFAIK this was suggested before, and the admins, they say, NO!

However, we'll see what they say this time.

Post by: Stunaep on May 19, 2003, 02:27:47 pm: We've been over this time and again, and so far the answer from the admins has been no.

Because Gamespy already has a dedicated HW forum, and there is little need for another, or so they say

Alright, back on topic, plz!

actually, that'd be pretty cool...

altho IIRC hardwar isn't able to take new ships yet
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 21, 2003, 02:14:39 am: Well in the new patch there was a new moth called the Swallow.

All ia have to say is Long Live Hardwar!

The development team, Software Refinery, were based in Leeds, you know.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Unknown Target on May 21, 2003, 06:34:07 am: I don't suppoese you could tell me how to target certain ships? The game is impossible without a manuel, and all the bad textures make it hard to tell the difference between a police cruiser and a mafia boss.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 21, 2003, 06:36:07 am: Well if you have the launcher, you should be able to configure the controls yourself.

The launchre is called hardman.exe

It doesn't sound to me like they have any options here. You can't blame them for sticking to the rules.

You really are living up to your name as Evil Capitalist admin :p
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 21, 2003, 06:59:59 pm: Target individual ships?
Get one of the 3.x pathes and use the terminal interface

For more, your no. 1; one-stop all mighty Hard War page:

Captain Zedo's in the business for quite a while trust him.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 21, 2003, 07:02:21 pm: So there are more HardWar fans here than I thought.

What moth have you got, Flaser?
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 21, 2003, 07:30:34 pm: Neo-Tiger, the one and only.
Nothing beats it when equiped with an afterburner.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 21, 2003, 07:33:28 pm: *cough*Swallow*cough*

Actually, I have quite a fleet.
Hawk
Neo-Tiger
Swallow
Moon Moth

I've been trying to get Downtown Moths to build be a Death's Head, but to no avail.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 21, 2003, 07:59:25 pm: You mean own.
Well I have the Neo-tiger, a Hawk, a Moon and a Deathhead.
I hadn't got a Swallow nor a Police moth.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 22, 2003, 05:42:38 am: I believe there is a Swallow lying around in a hangar in Riverside, and as for Police Moths, it's complicated.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 22, 2003, 08:01:35 am: That Shallow waas removed from 3.x versions.
But a police moth is not that hard.
You supply them with cell 3 and eventually downtown moths will make one.

Anyway to be "on topic" - HLP should have a Hard War section, if gamespy hasn't got one.
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 22, 2003, 09:30:44 am: Hear Hear.

What do you mean the Swallow was removed? And why?

Where do I get this 3.x patch? I'm running 2.04!
Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 22, 2003, 09:54:56 am: Check Captain Zedo's page - I already posted his adress.
He has them all.
These are Beta patches, so there is trouble with them.
I suggest you use 3.4. It has the best ai, a stable economy and the most functional terminal interface.
The terminal interface - TI for short - is a textbased console that lets you control a number of things.
You can hire thugs and order them to do the trading for you. *it's a bit more complicated* You can buy different types of machinery and can start your own factory in your hangar.
It has to be installed just like a clone, and can be bought in central industrial.
You can get both the patches as well as lots of info on HW and the TI.

Title: Should HLP have a HW section?
Post by: Flaser on May 22, 2003, 11:07:22 am: You're welcome.
Now for a Hard War section....hmm.
This should go into a new thread...
Making it now.
